Volume of A Solid

1. The document provides examples of calculating the volume of various solids, including spheres, cubes, boxes, pyramids, and cones. Formulas used include volume equals πr^2h for cylinders, 1/3bh for pyramids, and 1/3πr^2h or πr^2h/3 for cones. 2. Sample problems are worked through step-by-step showing how to apply the formulas to find volumes given dimensions like length, width, height, diameter, circumference, or base area and height. 3. Volumes are calculated and expressed in units like cubic meters, cubic yards, cubic centimeters depending on the original dimensions.

Word Problems Involving

Volume of Solids
1. Find the volume of the solid shown in the figure.
Solution:
Given: d = 12 m
h = 10 m
Formula: V = πr2h
= 3.14 x 6 x 6 x 10
V = 1 130.4 m 3

Note: diameter is given


2. Circumference of a sphere is 10 yds. Find the
volume of the sphere to the nearest whole number.
Solution:
Given: C = 10 yds
Formula: 4/3πr3
Since circumference is given, we will derive the
formula in finding the radius because we need the
radius to find the volume of a sphere.
C = 2πr
To derive the formula:
r = C/2π
= 10/ 2 x 3.14
r = 1.59
So, the radius is 1.59
Given: r = 1.59 yds
Formula: V = 4/3πr3
= 4/3 x 3.14 x 1.59 x 1.59 x 1.59
= 4/3 x 12.62
= 4 x 12.62
3
= 50.48
3
V = 16.82 yds3.

Nearest whole number is 17 yds.3


3. Sally has a chocolate box whose length is 12
cm, height 8 cm, and width 6 cm. Find the volume
of a box.
Solution:
Given: l = 12 cm
w = 8 cm
h = 6 cm
Formula: V = l x w x h
= 12 x 8 x 6
V = 576 cm3
4. Find the volume of a cube as shown below.

Given: l = 10 cm w = 10 cm h = 10 cm

v = a if the base edge is given


3

If dimensions are given use V = l x w x h


V=lxwxh
= 10 x 10 10
V = 1 000 cm3
5. Carol made rectangular pyramid using sand. The
base area and height of the pyramid are 6 ft and 4
ft respectively. Find the volume of the rectangular
pyramid Carol made.
Given: b = 6 ft
h = 4 ft.
Formula: V = 1/3bh
= 1/3 x 6 x 4
= 1/3 x 24
= 24
3
V = 8 ft3
Find the volume of the solid shown.
6.

Given: d= 4ft. Note: diameter is given

h = 6 ft.
Formula: V = πr2h

= 3.14 x 2 x 2 x 6
V= 75.36 ft3
7. What is the volume of a cone with a
diameter of 15 cm and a height of 28 cm?
Given: d = 15 cm
h = 28 cm
Note: the given base is diameter, divide it by 2 to get the radius, so we have 7.5 cm radius.

Formula: V = 1/3πr2h or πr2h


3
= 3.14 x 7.5 x 7.5 x 28

= 4 945.5
3

V = 1 648.5 cm3
